• • Zip is at the forefront of revolutionizing how modern businesses operate in the age of Artificial Intelligence. We are tackling a pervasive and complex challenge: the procurement of software, services, and tools within enterprises. Even the most forward-thinking companies struggle with this process, which has become overwhelmingly complicated. Globally, enterprises collectively spend over $120 trillion annually on these essential business resources, a figure more than 30 times the size of annual consumer e-commerce spending. Vendors play an increasingly critical role in enabling businesses to function effectively.
• • Founded in 2020, Zip emerged with a clear mission: to simplify this universal problem through a purpose-built procurement platform. Our solution offers a user experience that rivals the simplicity and intuitiveness of consumer-grade applications. In a remarkably short period, Zip has not only created a new market category but has also established itself as the leading solution within this substantial $50 billion+ Total Addressable Market (TAM) space. Today, Zip is the trusted platform for many of the world's most innovative companies, including industry leaders like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and JPMorgan Chase. These organizations rely on Zip to efficiently manage billions of dollars in spend, streamlining their procurement operations.
• • Our team is comprised of exceptional talent, with individuals hailing from and bringing invaluable experience from category-defining companies such as Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a significant valuation of $2.2 billion and having secured $370 million in funding from prominent investors like Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, Zip is strategically positioned for rapid growth and innovation. Our focus remains steadfast on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding our global market presence, and, most importantly, delivering unparalleled value to our customers.

Our environment is dynamic, requiring us to move swiftly to address a diverse array of complex technical and product-related challenges. While we foster a culture of continuous learning and provide ample guidance and mentorship from our experienced team members, we also highly value engineers who possess the initiative and capability to independently scope, design, and solve intricate technical problems.
• • Your responsibilities will encompass the end-to-end design and development of highly reliable and resilient products and features that form the backbone of Zip's offering. You will engage closely with product managers, designers, and customer-facing teams to deeply understand user needs and business requirements, translating these insights into thoughtful, effective, and scalable solutions.
